No more OnePlus One invites! https://blog.oneplus.net/2015/04/open-sales-for-th...

They'll bring the system back for the OnePlus Two. They are also discounting 75% off flip covers and screen protectors, £2.75 for a cover, £1.25 for protectors. Just ordered blue and black covers for mine. https://oneplus.net/uk/accessories

In case anyone is constantly checking their system update, the CM12 Lollipop update has been slightly held up by them adding an "OK OnePlus" voice command thingamajig. The update should start coming out soon as an OTA update, so none of the manual update stuff like their Oxygen OS update is at the moment. http://www.androidcentral.com/cyanogen-os-12-updat...

Was easy and have had no problems

Anyone updated a stock Oneplus One to Lollipop? Mine's thinking about it... Pre-update message said about 20 mins, but no sign of life from my handset 35 minutes in...

Did mine last night when I had the system upgrade notification, the first update is a small one (about 8mb) to set up the main upgrade (over 500mb), this one shows the boot animation for a while, then a message counting the apps that are being upgraded. How far have you got?

Ah. Mine showed boot animation for about 30 seconds, and has been completely devoid of life for the 55 minutes since then... Power button having no impact either.

Testicles.

Had to do some kind of reboot on mine - held down power and volume down for a few seconds to enter a recovery menu, then told to reboot and all done 10 minutes later.

Not sure what the initial problem was for me...!

Make sure you are connected to WiFi. Mine wouldn't run the main install over a mobile connection.

I updated mine by flashing it, but if you want to go down that route - don't encrypt the phone.

I had to install TWRP recovery to flash the Cyanogen 12s image (as the OTA wasn't happening at that time), and upon restarting, thought "encrypt the phone - that's a good idea!"

Tried to flash the updated version that is floating around, and TWRP can't unencrypt the file system, so I'm stuck.

In order to flash the OTA, I have to revert back to the Cyanogen recovery but I've been reading up that it breaks the phone and ends up bootlooping, so at the moment I'm stuck until TWRP figure out how to unencrypt the file system properly.

I *might* be able to do it by OTG cable and just flash the lot, but that's a last resort.

Since I updated to Lollipop my phone's battery life had taken a nose dive. I found on another forum that stopping Google Play Services from keep waking the phone can make a big difference. So I tried it and it has made a massive difference. The battery is now lasting longer than when the phone brand new (last July).


According to Privacy Guard, Google Play Services had woken my phone 75,000 times and kept it awake 250,000 times!
Since I've denied it the rights to do that the battery life has improved so much.


The internet said:
Go to Settings -> Privacy -> Privacy Guard. Tap the three dotted menu and enable the option that lists built-in apps.
Now long press on Google Play Services. Go to Wake Up, Keep Awake, Auto-Start and select Denied for each.
If you're having issues with OPO battery life, go into the above and see how many times Google Play Services has woken your phone.

By the way, since doing this I'm still getting notifications of App updates.

I hate the new unlock screen and how it works. It also took ages to work out how to get music player back on the lock screen.

why on earth its now a two step process to unlock I don't know. Also some times it askes for the unlock password when it shouldn't and then keeps saying its the wrong pin. lock it again and then unlock and it doesn't ask. PITA.

Most recent update fixes that, 12.0-YNG1TAS17L.

Mine's on that update but Google Play Services was still Waking/Keeping Awake the phone hundreds of times a day.

Is the general concesus that this is still a worth while piece of kit?
I am due to fork out £268 for the 64Gb version next week - but i am not sure if i should wait for the OPT (one plus two) as the price of the OPO may fall?

Even if the Oneplus Two is objectively better, I can't see how they would make it better by much. It already has a great OS, excellent battery life, more than enough power, decent camera and so on. Even though it's a year old I still think it's a great bargain.

Just purchased one and was delivered a few days ago. Very impressed. Don't didn't know about the +2 but happy with my purchase regardless.

Excellent phone.
